Hello himself persecuted heretics with patronising scorn, but was already ready to drop into a hymn of praise to the Madonna. I had then read two of Hello's books, Le Style and M. Renan, L'Allemagne et l'Atheisme au 19me Siecle. Such productions are called books, because there is no other name for them. As a matter of fact, idle talk and galimatias of the sort are in no wise literature.

On the purely intellectual side the result was De l'Allemagne, which does not concern us; on the side of feeling, tinged with æsthetic philosophy, of study of the archaic and the picturesque illuminated by emotion the result was Corinne. If there had been only one difference between this and its author's earlier attempt at novel-writing, that difference would have given Corinne a great advantage.

Il est absolument clair que l'Allemagne s'efforce dès

After the publication of Corinne she returned to Germany, and completed the observation which she thought necessary for the companion book De l'Allemagne. Its publication in 1810, when she had foolishly kindled afresh the Emperor's jealousy by appearing with her usual "tail" of worshippers or parasites as near Paris as she was permitted, completed her disgrace.

But Dean Stanley has read his Heine to little purpose if he imagines that this radiant and splendid soldier of progress meant by the Spirit of God the third person of the Christian Trinity. Heine was no Christian, and the very opposite of a theologian. We might translate passages of scathing irony on the ascetic creed of the Cross from the De L'Allemagne, but space does not admit.

Few, probably, now read Madame de Staël's De l'Allemagne, though it has its interest, the interest which never quite fades out of work really touched with the enthusiasm of the spiritual adventurer, the pioneer in culture.

A good many of Constant's speeches were written by Madame De Stael, and when they traveled together through Germany he no doubt was a great help to her in preparing the "De l'Allemagne." But there was a little man approaching from out the mist of obscurity who was to play an important part in the life of Madame De Stael.

"A la suite de cette mesure menaçante motivée par aucun préparatif militaire de la part de l'Allemagne, l'Empire Allemand se trouva vis-
